WONDERFUL SUGAR OR Mel VER WATERMELON. 



- Wonderful Sugar or Mclver Watermelon 



This widely famous watermelon is, we believe, the sweetest ever put before the people of this country. It is of medium size, with striped or 

 variegated exterior, beautiful red flesh, and light colored or white seeds. The flesh is entirely stringless, and of perfect quality as to texture. 

 The vines are strong, thrifty and prolific, and well adapted to withstand either wet weather or drought. This melon was grown for many years 

 by Col. E. R. Mclver, of South Carolina, president of his county agricultural society, and a watermelon enthusiast, and he considered It the 

 sweetest within his knowledge. The seed came originally from the West Indies. We Introduced It to the American public in our 1891 

 catalogue. Since that time it has been tried by many thousands of our customers, both North and South, and unlimited praise is given to it. 

 It is well adapted to nearby markets, but is rather delicate for long freight shipment. An excellent home garden melon of superior quality. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, gl .25, postpaid.
